Photography workshop

Discover and practice one of the first photographic techniques, the wet plate collodion process. For 3 hours, I will accompany you in creating a portrait using the wet collodion technique. You will learn how to photograph using a view camera and you will carry out various steps in the laboratory, from preparing the plate to developing it. It's your turn to be photographed on a 10x12 cm aluminum plate.

A portrait session with wet plate collodion

Book your portrait session and get a unique and one-of-a-kind photograph on aluminum or glass! You will pose in front of a vintage camera and experience a shutter speed of 10 seconds. You will witness all the steps in the laboratory alongside me. You will experience that magical moment when you see the image appear through the action of chemicals. The session lasts about 1 hour.
